163braces Nominated for Golden Melody Best New Artist, Says She Was 'Shocked'

(Central News Agency, Taipei, June 8) Female singer 163braces has been nominated for the Best New Artist award at the Golden Melody Awards for her song 'Conch Record'. In an interview today (June 8), she revealed that upon learning of her nomination, she felt it was unreal and was momentarily unable to react. She said she is honored to be nominated, and her boyfriend, singer Li Haowei, immediately gave her a hug.

163braces attended the nomination press conference today and stated that she was too shocked to react at first when she found out about the nomination. It only felt real after she started receiving congratulatory messages. Her family, knowing she was anxious about the nomination, encouraged her to maintain a normal mindset. She said being nominated already exceeded her expectations and she hasn't thought about winning the award, but she is grateful to all the partners who have helped her along the way and the audience who have grown with her.

163braces' boyfriend, Li Haowei, was nominated for the same Best New Artist award at the Golden Melody Awards in 2021. She joked today that she has been asking him what preparations she should make for the Golden Melody Awards, 'But his memory isn't very good; he said he forgot everything, so it wasn't really helpful.' However, she emphasized that having him by her side gives her a sense of security, like being surrounded by the ocean.

163braces said that the couple has been together for seven years and cherishes their relationship, so they don't like to 'show off' their affection publicly. They only post about each other on important occasions, preferring a long-lasting and steady kind of love. (Editor: Li Hengshan) 1150608
